Fishing Kings Game App For iPhone - Tips, Hints, Cheats

Fishing Kings is a game app for the iPhone and iPad. Even if you are not a fan of fishing, fishing kings is still a great game with lots of enjoyable features. This article will review the game and also give you some fishing kings tips and hints on how to play the game.

Fishing Kings

What Is Fishing Kings

Fishing kings is an iPhone app from by Gameloft. This is basically a fishing game where the object of the game is to catch fish. Although that sounds very simple, fishing kings is actually a very involved game with lots of different features and modes of game play. There are lots of challenges and missions to get involved in and the game really will keep people interested for a long while.

When you open the app you have the chance to join up to Gameloft live. This gives you the ability to register your fishing kings high scores and keep track of where you are on the leader boards in relation to other players. You can also change a few of the options such as sound level, music level, voice level and turn the vibration on and off. You can also change the language, the standard setting is English but there are eight other languages to choose from.

Game Snapshot

Gameplay

When you click on ‘Go Fishing’ you are taken to a large map. Here you are asked to select a location where you would like to fish. At first there are only a few places you can fish, you must complete certain levels to unlock new locations. On the right of the screen there are also options to view your tackle, diary, guide and PDA. As you progress through the game you earn money to purchase new lures, rods and other bits and pieces. The better your tackle, the better your chances of catching a big fish.

When you have selected a location you can start to actually fish. You are stationed on the back of a boat usually. You have a marker out on the water that you can move around, this is where you will cast to. Flip your iPhone or iPad back and then flip forward. This will cast your line out. The lure will land and then start to sink, now you can see any fish in the area, the idea is to catch the biggest and best fish which will in turn earn you new levels and money to buy new tackle.

Hooked!

Tips, Hints, Cheats

When it comes to hints and tips for fishing kings, the best advice is to practice. When it comes to hooking a fish you must be patient and careful not to snap your line. You need to slowly reel the fish in but stop if the line tension meter goes into the red. You also need to move to the left and right as the fish tries to free itself from you line. When the fish is exhausted then it’s time to start reeling him in, but be aware that he will get a second wind and try to escape again. When you get your catch near the boat you need to flip your device to land the catch.

If you are looking for cheats for fishing kings then there are some cheats out there. If you look online there are a few patches you can download which give you lots of money and give you all the available tackle. Although I think that really using fishing king cheats spoils the game somewhat. To get the most out of this game you should really complete all the levels yourself and enjoy it that way. One thing I will say about this game, it's easy to get hooked, you will find yourself up all night playing this, so make sure you drink plenty of coffee!

Overall

Fishing kings is really an excellent game with so much to enjoy. This is the kind of game that will keep players involved for ages as there is so many different things to aim for and achieve. The graphics are very good, the sounds is simple but good, the voices can be slightly irritating but they are easy to turn off. If you like fishing then fishing kings is a game you will really enjoy. If you are not a fan of fishing then the fishing kings app for the iPhone is still something that you will really enjoy.

If Fishing Kings is a game you enjoy, there are lots more great free apps out there that will suit you. For some ideas on what to download just click here.

Catch salmon: choose surface bobber or the same kind of lure.go to Naheul huapi , in the corner lake. So

1 on your maximum left side there were salmon and grass carp in there

You need to reel the lure to attract salmon so that they will bite your lure.

Catch blue marlin: choose surface bobber (90% attraction) .(i have caught about 16-18blue marlin maximum weight is 471,8lb and 149 in) in the Bahamas open sea, on your maximum left side there were blue marlins.

1 blue marlins have to near from you about 2 blue marlins so: reel your lure when it starts coming to you, tift the lure ( move your iPad,iPhone on your right side) ( if blue marlin turn around when you stop reeling your lure, whenever you reel tift again, they never bite) ( IF it don't turn around and just go ahead to you, keep tifting, don't reel until blue marlin bite )

Those instruction based on people skills named ( fish attraction).

Try a very slow retrieve for tench. When the lure is retrieved slowly it doesn't seem to attract the catfish only tench. Additionally, I have read about people's games resetting on them. This almost happened to me. I opened the app and it asked for my name and said, "Let's go fishing" like it was the first time I played. I exited the app and then killed it in task killer. When I reopened everything was fine. I have done this twice now and saved all my info. If you are prompted to enter you name like it's starting over don't do anything. Just kill the app and open it again. Thank god because I would've quit.

If you are having the problem where you can't catch a brook trout and complete the mission here's how when the screen just loads in where you cast your line you will see ripples in the water. Cast THERE and let your bait sit

Make sure you are catching flathead mullet. Some of the fish look very similar. Also, i noticed some people mentioned they had to restart their game from the begining because the game reset by itself. This happened to me. When I loaded the game I was at the menu where you have to pick a fisherman to start a new game. DO NOT pick a new fisherman and start a new game. All you have to do is turn off your device and when you reload the game all of your progress will still be there. This has happened to me 2 times and I was able to continue my game by simply restarting.

@fishermansfriend

First of all you should get 3* every challenge to earn all the missions' xp but from level 30 aren't enough. It means that you must fish in free mode a lot to unlock levels, to me grass carps in taupo are the best 'cause most of them have more than 1000 xp each. A shark or marlyn have average of 800 xp...

@fisherjjj thanks! It worked but now I'vejust finished lake eyre challenge 10 and didn't get any new missions, do I have to do something to activate it?

Fisherjjj

@fishermansfriend

To catch snappers, once you see the snappers, just stay motionless, the bait will sit on the bottom and the snapper will eat. Sometime is useful let the bait sit on a rock so you have more "skyline" to look to.

When you are out of energy and you wanna play you can change the time on your device, the energy will be restored but remember that the balance can't be defrauded: you will pay more time to restore later.

Fisherjjj

6 years ago

To earn xp and unlock levels you gotta catch fishes in free fishing mode. In taupo you can catch grass carps with 1800 xp.

@NSM yellow eyed mullets mission is hard, I did it once then tha game resetted and I'm not able to do it again btw it seems that to attract those mullets you have first to reel in a little or tilt than stay motionless.

I finally got 3* in yellow eyed mullets after tousend attempts. I casted out ~ 27 ft on the right side near the underwater stones, i used bass ribbontail lure, staying motionless I looked at right and left moving the finger on the lure on the touchpad to increase the number of fishes looking at my lure. I completed the mission at 08:10

To catch a bonefish in old aquarium use fizzer lure, cast out 40 ft on the right side when you see the bonefish reel in slowly. Pretty easy get 3 *.

@ latez123

I cast out the bait 38 ft (that is 12,5 meters) immediately piranhas swim to the bait. I reel in till ~ 12 ft than I let the fish eat the bait. Normally it takes less than 30 second each fish but sometimes I cast out and there aren't fishes at all...

@ Fisherjjj

I am also using the willowleaf:spoon lure all along. I just can't seem to beat the clock. After many attempts on it. I sacrificed my 3-star exp reward so that I can use the same bait and be on the same fishing spot as my first round (you know... After ur failure in getting the 3 stars and they ask whether you choose to continue, look at the leaderboard, or just quit. If you choose to continue, you'll have the same bait and the same fishing spot that you last casted). But that still didn't help much, so yeah, still stuck there. And I think 12.5 m is a lil bit too near the boat. The shortest cast is about 18-19 m. Do you mean 22.5m or sonething? Thanks for sharing.

Thx, I gonna try the spoon, make you know...

Mission 29 is yellow eyed mullets, I have finally red your post bout it but I'm still trying. Make me mad those mullets take too much time to notice the bait and eat...

@ blue marlin hunters

When the marlyn is far reel in very little than stay motionless, if the fish loose attention reel in again or tilt. You have to attract fish on the bait staying motionless. When the mouth of fish is on the bait tilt continuously.

Fisherjjj, if the 29&44 really are the white bass and the piranha...

29, I don't see any problem with it. Just catch the one over 15 in. and you're fine.

44, like I've mentioned above, try spoon lure, it's faster.

Latezz123

Okay... I dont't have anything to say about the barracudas, the marlins, the sharks, or the groupers that was mentioned just yet but I do have sonething to say about the Piranhas though.

I'm on the piranhas' mission too and haven't quite got it yet b/c I don't really have time to play. But one thing I've noticed so far is that, the piranha tends to like the spoon bait better. Trust me, if they see it, they'll come swimming fast to it and take it, wayyyyy better response than the recommended jig lure. I guess we would have to quickly change the bait to the spoon and find the fishing spot in 5-15 seconds, and use the rest of the 2 minutes and 40-50 sec to fish out all of the 6 fish to get 3 stars. I either abort or quit the mission when I know I'm not gonna make it so my chance for 3 star exp reward is still on!

Fisherjjjj, I understand your pain bout the 3 stars stuff. I won't play anything else until I get 3 stars in every mission. I made that so far... because the current piranha is not graded yet. I'll see what I can help with your 29 and 44.

Hi folks

I'm in mission 45 done

Done all of missions with 3* but n. 29 and n. 44 with 2*

Finally I got a blue marlyn, I have understood that to capture the marlyn you need at least:

Ultra heavy reel

Fc line

Surface bopper

Heavy spinning rod

May be also you need level 45 or more

The technic to fish marlyns is clearly described in this forum and I want to thank all the fisherpeoples that posted comments!

Btw get marlyns is most difficult

Suggestion to get 3* in missions 29 e 44 ?

To Chance

Those mullets are on the right just between the underwater rocks. Yellow mullets are further to the back about 43-50ft. If any closer to the fisherman, the flathead will start to appear. So find a range about 35-40ft. to fish. The closer the better because you are on the clock, so less time to spend on reeling them in, the more likely you'll finish with 3 stars. But this also depends on a little bit of luck, too. Sometimes there's no fish when you cast out. Sometimes the fish are just far away and it takes time for them to see the bait and swim to it. Sometimes the fish takes 3 attempts on the bait and when you try to reel them in and it puts up a fight. And all of these take time, which you do not have, so it's luck, some skill, and speed that will get all 5 of them in time. Pray for when you cast the bait out, there will be yellow mullets very close by and it will immediately rush to the bait and took it at the first bite and that it will stay like dead fish when you reel them in. And wala

Keep trying. It's possible. I was stucked with it for a few weeks before I got it just right. :)))

Hey KJ and EK. there is a shark. If you get the app update that has the blue marlin wearing a red coat and a santa hat then you have 5 missions with the bull shark. They are in the Bahamas and in the Amazon. With the update you also get more realistic graphics for the fish and more items, shark reel, shark rod, and 3 new lures, mullet chum, sheepshead chum, and stingray chum.
